Not enough speed and total bandwidth in LPDDR5 to justify the increased hardware CU count even when increasing to 6400 MT/s instead of 5500 MT/s in the Steam Deck. Steam Deck balanced it right I feel. We'll have to wait 3-4 years and get the equivalent of what is in the Apple Silicon RAM arrangement or double the speed to have 12 CUs not be bottlenecked.
lets say I give you the PC one (even when the Deck is more focused for gaming than work)
but the switch can run:
NES up to N64 (up to fricking Wii via Android)
GB up to GBA (up to fricking 3ds via android)
PSX
anything SEGA
and all kinds of arcades, hell yhe thing has no problem with anything even older. this on top its native library
My Switch is always full with games. all digitals since it's hacked and I don't want keep deleting stuff every time I want to transfer new stuff.
It's better to have 2 separate machines specialized in their own thing.
Also diversification is always good.
The only reason I'd want a Retroid 2+ or this is because of the feature where you can get boxart images without having to use Skraper or creating some convoluted and tedious folder structure for them. Just go to add boxart, find any image you want online and bam, it's there. Why can't this be on every OS?
No, the emulation handheld market has been in shambles since 2020 and the steam deck made the situation a lot worse. I mean seriously why the frick do you need to pre order something 6 months in advance when these shit companies make an updated version every 4 months. I bought an Xbox series s because I got tired of dealing with this market and I'm considering unironically buying a steam deck
Damn, whoever designed these must have some Hugh Jazz pockets
>Retroid
What kind of name is this
You know, Retroid! Rith Ramus!
Mild bur
>symmetrical sticks
I need it
seriously, I'm starting to lose count of all the consoles with sticks in the wrong position
If PlayStation is the only system with symmetrical sticks I don't think it's the other systems doing it wrong
Nintendo has done both though.
Is this just a mobile way of playing emulators? You guys know you can get them for free on your computers, right?
has anything from China ever been good?
Looks like Switch Lite was a big inspiration.
I wouldn't mind a revision like this for 2D gaming.
Their handhelds have gotten a lot better since the early days.
>More pixel indieshit devices
Yawn. Just hack a 3DS or a Switch.
what the frick are those d-pads
also
>using the switch joysticks
wow cool how long till they fricking drift
Why would you put the start and select buttons at the top
How the frick do they expect me to play Batman Forever like that?
>ARM
Its shit.
Who gives a frick. I have a steam deck
Imagine owning a Steam Deck when handhelds with God gifts to gaming has been released this year.
Its a laptop chip with a laptop TDP. Its better when you burn more power, but doesn't do as well as the Deck when power is limited.

Literally ruined by the start and select placement. What the frick were they thinking?
I'll stick with my vita
Imagine owning something that doesnt run Dreamcast and N64 properly.
Imagine wanting to play Dreamcast or N64
My phone can run them properly just fine
at that point why not just getting a havkable switch ir a steam deck?
specialization.
Switch for indie & modern games
Retroid for emulated old games
>PC
PC is for work, not gaming

I’ll only be interested in replacing my Retroid Pocket 2+ if a new model can reliably emulate PS2 and GameCube
Its the same chip as the 2+, only difference is there is a 3 gb ram model
3 or 4 consoles in and still nobody has told them that this color is yellow
tfw bought a odinpro and regret the frick out of it
I kneel SteamDeck chads, I fricking kneel
Why don't you like it?
too big
